I've been getting into Assassin's creed IV lately, playing it ALOT.
But now every once in a while my PC restarts like someone unlplugged it and plugged it back in.
It never does this when im not playing games.

No one can help you without more information - post your system for better results.

Typical causes of what you describe:

*Failing or under sized PSU
*Overheating CPU or GPU
*Bad RAM chip

Could be another hardware issue, but considering it only happens during games it is very likely the items listed above are causing your problem.
